I was kind of anxious about this movie, as I really kind of hated OotP and HBP sported the same director, but I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it did a far better job of using JKR's humor, which I've always felt lacked in the previous movies. It also played up the good parts of the book and didn't get as bogged down in the romance of it all. Cut for spoilers )

Here is an interesting article from the New Yorker about the current state of health care in the US. It's long, but really interesting. This quote kind of sums up what the author gets at:

We can turn to insurers (whether public or private), which have proved repeatedly that they can’t do it. Or we can turn to the local medical communities, which have proved that they can. But we have to choose someone—because, in much of the country, no one is in charge. And the result is the most wasteful and the least sustainable health-care system in the world.


I agree, which means that Obama's healthcare plan really isn't taking us in the direction we need to go. We need to do something, but I don't know how feasible it is that the country will be willing. Too many people are making too much money.
According to allkpop.com, there is a Hong Gil Dong movie in the works. Cut for HGD the series spoilers and SEVERE BITCHING )
